Since you would never see it that’s pretty much irrelevant. Clearly this is about AI generated art and AI generated assets

Whether or not you use AI to grey box something is a pointless distinction given the fact that there’s no way to prove it one way or the other.

I’m sure everyone has always explained this to you given the number of down votes, but algorithms aren’t equal to AI.

Ever since the evolution of AI people seem to have lost the ability to recall things prior to 2019.

I’m not sure any game involving Trump could be considered chess.

Well yeah of course it’s optional already. If you don’t want that then you just don’t buy those games.

It’s not a 4K capable graphics card though it’s a 1080p capable graphics card that they’re saying is 4K because of the existence of AI upscaling which I think is a cheat. So you’re already overestimating the cards capability.

I had it once play a video recorded on an old Motorola razr circa 2004. It was this super obscure file format, that basically only this one phone used, and was never used on any other phone.

VLC didn’t care, played it right out of the box without any problems.

It supports an obscure single use, 2004 video format. If aliens come to earth, VLC will be able to play their files too.

Surely the federal government doesn’t actually have the authority to mandate this. Business regulations are always a state matter.

For most robots in factories the safety system is don’t go near it. Because no one can guarantee that the robot will stop in time.

No the keyboard is important. There are so many truly awful keyboards out there that have no travel on the keys.

I absolutely cannot stand the keyboard on the MacBook air. It’s so incredibly cheap and it appears to be made out of the same material that they package luxury chocolates in.

I’d like it to cost $1.50 but it won’t. The minimum reasonable price this comes in at is around $500 you would have to be really unaware to expect it to be less than that

99% of people won’t care though they just want to be able to play stardew valley on their big TV.

$1,000 is not entry level.

If you go on any website and look at entry level PCs they’re all around $600 to $800.

I didn’t use prices from last week I used prices from last year because that’s when Steam would have actually made their devices. Manufacturing of the steam machine and the steam frame is rumoured to have occurred around 2023-2024, should the Trump shenanigans shouldn’t have affected things too much.

That’s not to say that somehow much the devices will cost it’s just how much it would have cost to build. How much profit they’re going to try and make on them is an unknown. With the steam deck they aim for $100 profit margin, but who knows with this device. The steam frame is also an unknown because it’s a weird configuration.

A PC of similar performance is about $550 so I don’t get what they’re saying about it not been priced like a console. That’s about exactly what a Series S would cost.

It’ll just be that a lot of password systems insist on a number in a special character.

There was a post on here a while ago about the most popular four digit PIN numbers. I think the top five were

1234
7890
1212
1111
And 1701

We’re are all so original

For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn’t even pick up on it.

I’ve changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we’re all fine now.

I’m extremely tempted to “hack” the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.

A deal with Russia isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

This war is only even possible because they’ve already violated an agreement they had with Ukraine. It would be insane for Ukraine to agree to a different deal for safety when they already did that and got back stabbed.

Meanwhile Europe will push Ukraine not to sign the deal (not that much persuasion will be necessary) because Europe doesn’t want to set the precedent that Russia can just eat away at Europe.

As for the threat from the US that Ukraine will get a worse deal if they don’t sign, given how crap the current deal is, I can’t see how it could reasonably get any worse, unless it’s total surrender, but that won’t fly because there would be literally no point even considering that. The Trump administration really are useless at negotiating, they think they can strong arm Ukraine, but they don’t actually have any cards.

Looks like it’s from formula 1, which is more of an emotional hothouse than your average high school.

So apparently the way it works is that you either have no money at all, or a Ferrari for every day of the week, and there’s no possible in between?

What if I just have top of the range Mercedes money, will I be happy then?
